Some years ago I started to learn Processing, a Java-like environment for creative coding. Later on, I discovered p5.js, a JavaScript library that started - I guess - as a porting of Processing to JavaScript, but now it's an indipendent project on its own. I have been using it to create …
In the first part of this series I showed you how to export data from from Nirvana, process it, then import as "raw" CSV files into Zenkit. In this second part we will see how to use advanced Zenkit features such as field conversion and views.
I am quite a fan of GTD - Getting Things Done® methodology, and productivity tools in general. Over the last few years I've tried different workflows, applications, even Bullet Journal to stay organized and do things. In this article I will show you how to move your tasks and projects from Nirvana to Zenkit.
Many of the projects I'm involved in use Maven as build system due to its reliability, widespread use, and flexibility. However, I often find myself hurdling around bad choices with regard to the build process. In this article I'd like to illustrate some of the most useful techniques to implement …
I'm a IntelliJ IDEA user since late 2013. After a long (and not without problems) liaison with Eclipse IDE, and before that with the glorious Borland JBuilder, I wanted to try something new. Not that Eclipse was bad per se, it was just getting heavier and buggier release after release, and the plugin ecosystem wasn't anymore something you could rely on. I remember also giving NetBeans a last chance: NO WAY. So I thought "What's all this fuss around JetBrain IntelliJ IDEA?"
It's been a long time since I wanted to read this book, given enthusiastic reviews from various influential programmers.

Ora che l'ho "digerito" (ci ho messo quasi tre mesi per leggerlo tutto!) non posso che confermare l'assoluto valore di questa pubblicazione! Titolo: The …
After seeing the great success of introductory article on BigDecimal class I wanted to go on with some examples on one of the most complex operations: division. The problem... Is always the same: size 🤦♀️ BigDecimal, as already seen, can have an arbitrary number of decimal digits: this does not mean …
java.math.BigDecimal class represents “Immutable, arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers” (with some limits), and has methods to operate on those numbers. Its use although is not so immediate and it is easy to do errors. In this article I'll try to put some light on this topic, in the hope …
Visto il grande successo dell'articolo introduttivo sulla classe BigDecimal ho deciso di proseguire la serie con qualche esempio su una delle operazioni più complesse: la divisione. Il problema... ...è il solito: le dimensioni :) BigDecimal, abbiamo detto, può avere un numero arbitrario di cifre decimali: arbitrario si, ma non infinito …
